Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet
This The Learning Network: Re-envisioning Classic Stories lesson plan also includes:
  • Worksheet
  • Join to access all included materials

Readers reflect on enjoyable stories they know, brainstorm criteria that make a story "good," analyze a New York Times article about innovative children's performances, re-envision classics on their own, and peer edit drafts. Use this as enrichment for gifted readers who readily grasp the vocabulary, but for whom the content (fairy tales, children's performances) is still relevant. Plan to spend time to make the material accessible. A thorough, thoughtful resource.
